Great job on the focus - I like the simple structure of this composition.

Neat way to reverse the usual viewing mode, where I scroll down to see tall images. Beautiful, rich colors and a great variety of them, too.

Greetings from the Critique Club

(Sigh) How does one critique an abstract... Very carefully, I know.

Seriously, I like this a lot. The composition is delightful, keeping this viewer in the picture a long time. The colors are pleasant, making the image quietly pleasing as well.

Because many of our viewers/voters have monitors calibrated differently, I've found that 'dark' images sometimes fare badly, simply because viewers can't see them properly. That's the nature of the game, and I guess it's consideration depending on what you're looking for in an entry. Personally, I'm glad you entered this one, 'cause it is lovely and a pleasure to view.

this is nice, has a very cold, isolated feel to it. The only thing I would perhaps change would be to clone out the annoying blob that looks like lens flare (or part of the background) to the right of the stalk as it is quite distracting.

Greetings from the Critique club. I like what you have done in a creative manner with this entry. I like the off center composition, although being that your going for the disco ball look, I might have liked to see the strainer not sitting on the board, rather up off it a bit to get the full "disco ball" effect, and the shot not quite so tight to give it a larger perspective of it. Overall very nicely done and I think it scored pretty well, voting on this one I would have given it a 6.
